A warning from Ultrastar

From the staff @ Ultrastar.

So we've noticed a lot of discussion about the tickets that are for sale on various ticket broker sights [sites].  We have another name for ticket brokers: we call them scalpers.  These guys claim to be selling great seat locations for concerts, but in reality do not have the tickets they promise.  Try calling one or two, and don't be surprised when the 'awesome 3rd row ticket!' turns out to be the third row of section 604.

In America this practice is hardly regulated, and in many States is perfectly legal.  Unfortunately, when this misleading information begins to appear on various broker sites (read: tout) it can seem extremely unfair to the honest fans that just want a fair shot at good seats to see their favorite band.

Don't be fooled by these scalpers, who just want to parley not-so-awesome seats into a pocket full of cash.
